This card is an unusual one for me - there isn't any Cricut involved!
I bought these beautiful handmade papers a couple of years ago when we visited our son in San Francisco. I hadn't used any of them yet - too pretty! I decided to make a quick card using one small piece.
Since I just recently did Mandy's Scrappy-Go-Lucky card swap/blog hop with the black white and silver scheme I was attracted to this silver and white paper which I placed on a black A2 card base.
The silver sentiment was from a sheet of "peel-offs" that my friend Agnes from Scotland sent me a while ago. These are fun to use for a change from stamps or Cricut cut sentiments.
I added Creative Charms Pure Blossoms jewels in two shades of pink on top of the silver flowers. I used Glue Dots to attach the flowers.
Beautiful paper, a shiny sentiment and the sparkly gems make a simple, pretty card to send to a friend.
Just a quick post today - I have a lot going on and I'll tell you more about that soon...

I love simple and yet I get stuck on making more elaborate cards and don't know why I complicate things so. :)
